00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,037
Hello, we're Yeray and Sergi

2
00:00:03,048 --> 00:00:05,368
and we will talk about Minorca

3
00:00:05,368 --> 00:00:08,068
the good things and the bad thing about it.

4
00:00:08,068 --> 00:00:10,458
Because Menorca can be a wonderful

5
00:00:10,514 --> 00:00:11,834
island, as you know

6
00:00:12,076 --> 00:00:16,076
but it also, has some bad things

7
00:00:16,142 --> 00:00:18,322
let's start with the bad ones.

8
00:00:26,658 --> 00:00:28,458
If we want to live the island

9
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:31,374
we have to travel by boat or plane

10
00:00:31,646 --> 00:00:34,386
And in the mainland you have cheaper options

11
00:00:34,386 --> 00:00:35,886
to travel around, for example:

12
00:00:35,886 --> 00:00:37,496
the car, the train...

13
00:00:37,556 --> 00:00:39,696
Also you can go whenever you want

14
00:00:39,696 --> 00:00:43,696
Beacuse we have a fixed time table

15
00:00:47,914 --> 00:00:50,144
Oh, Imagine if the airport is broken

16
00:00:50,144 --> 00:00:53,074
it will be a disaster.

17
00:01:05,084 --> 00:01:06,984
After that, there are a few shops

18
00:01:06,995 --> 00:01:08,715
in Minorca and a lot of people

19
00:01:08,715 --> 00:01:10,525
have to buy through Internet.

20
00:01:10,541 --> 00:01:12,211
We don't have a lot of places

21
00:01:12,220 --> 00:01:13,070
to go shopping,

22
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:15,600
we have Mango for example and stradivarius

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,600
but not a mall where everything is near.

24
00:01:22,702 --> 00:01:24,832
We have a lot of pollution in summer

25
00:01:24,832 --> 00:01:26,862
because a lot of people throw thing

26
00:01:26,862 --> 00:01:29,102
on the sand, or in the water

27
00:01:29,102 --> 00:01:30,632
and all these thing end up

28
00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:32,972
in the same place and it can be removed

29
00:01:32,972 --> 00:01:34,172
correctly .

30
00:01:34,782 --> 00:01:35,982
Another example is

31
00:01:35,982 --> 00:01:37,462
that during the "fiestas",

32
00:01:37,462 --> 00:01:39,432
a lot of people throw their bottles

33
00:01:39,432 --> 00:01:41,492
with gin and lemonade on the floor,

34
00:01:41,492 --> 00:01:43,382
beers, plastic bags...

35
00:01:47,551 --> 00:01:49,211
Minorca is a place to relax

36
00:01:49,322 --> 00:01:51,372
but in summer there are thousands of

37
00:01:51,372 --> 00:01:53,242
poeple that goes to relax like on the

38
00:01:53,242 --> 00:01:54,762
beach, it can be stressful

39
00:01:54,762 --> 00:01:56,272
because there are a lot of people

40
00:01:56,272 --> 00:01:57,632
in the same place.

41
00:01:57,632 --> 00:01:59,332
We know that we need this

42
00:01:59,332 --> 00:02:01,172
because we depend on tourism

43
00:02:01,172 --> 00:02:03,382
but in some situations it's stressful.

44
00:02:04,713 --> 00:02:06,383
And finally the last drawback

45
00:02:06,383 --> 00:02:07,513
is the Tramuntana

46
00:02:07,538 --> 00:02:08,728
which is a wind that comes from the north

47
00:02:08,728 --> 00:02:11,078
and drags many things to other places.

48
00:02:12,082 --> 00:02:12,952
It's irregular

49
00:02:12,952 --> 00:02:15,122
which means that we don't know when

50
00:02:15,122 --> 00:02:15,962
it will arrive,

51
00:02:15,962 --> 00:02:17,692
but we have it all the year.

52
00:02:20,566 --> 00:02:21,116
Well,

53
00:02:21,116 --> 00:02:23,616
now let's start with the positive things.

54
00:02:25,541 --> 00:02:27,801
Minorca is a small place and there aren't

55
00:02:27,801 --> 00:02:29,541
a lot of largest distances

56
00:02:29,541 --> 00:02:31,791
For example the larges distance that we

57
00:02:31,791 --> 00:02:35,791
have in Minorca is from Maó to Ciutadella

58
00:02:36,446 --> 00:02:38,336
And also, is a place wher you can

59
00:02:38,336 --> 00:02:40,606
relax and finally is a peaceful place.

60
00:02:41,575 --> 00:02:43,215
Also in Minorca we have the

61
00:02:43,215 --> 00:02:44,475
"cami de cavalls"

62
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:47,508
where you walk around Minorca visitng

63
00:02:47,508 --> 00:02:51,508
secret places, we have 20 stages

64
00:02:51,508 --> 00:02:52,998
and they're connected.

65
00:02:58,683 --> 00:03:01,003
The Talaiotic culture is very important for

66
00:03:01,003 --> 00:03:02,173
Minorcan people.

67
00:03:02,173 --> 00:03:04,483
The prehistoric monuments we can find

68
00:03:04,483 --> 00:03:08,483
are (navetes, talaiots) and this are one of

69
00:03:08,483 --> 00:03:11,443
the most popular tourist attractions

70
00:03:11,443 --> 00:03:13,863
For example: "Es poblat de Talati"

71
00:03:13,863 --> 00:03:17,863
"Sa naveta d'es Tudons", "Torralba" etc

72
00:03:26,858 --> 00:03:29,048
In MInorca, there are a lot of sports that

73
00:03:29,048 --> 00:03:30,638
you can practice for example

74
00:03:30,638 --> 00:03:32,348
football rollerblading, tennis

75
00:03:32,348 --> 00:03:36,348
basketball..., but the problem is that we

76
00:03:36,348 --> 00:03:38,228
can't practice winter sports.

77
00:03:38,228 --> 00:03:41,078
For example, we play football in

78
00:03:41,078 --> 00:03:43,388
Sporting Mahones, but sometimes we play

79
00:03:43,388 --> 00:03:45,388
basketball, voley and different sports

80
00:03:45,388 --> 00:03:48,898
when we can, also we like

81
00:03:48,898 --> 00:03:52,168
going horse ridding with friends...

82
00:03:52,168 --> 00:03:55,928
In the video we have prepared you'll see

83
00:03:55,928 --> 00:03:59,008
our friends doing different sports in Minorca.

84
00:04:18,384 --> 00:04:20,634
Minorca is a wonderful place where you

85
00:04:20,634 --> 00:04:23,474
can find a lot of beaches. In Minorca

86
00:04:23,474 --> 00:04:27,474
there are 197 beaches, 132 of sand

87
00:04:27,474 --> 00:04:30,054
and 67 of rocks.

88
00:04:30,054 --> 00:04:32,364
The beaches are completly clean and

89
00:04:32,364 --> 00:04:34,564
beautiful but sometimes they're a little

90
00:04:34,564 --> 00:04:35,924
bit dirty.

91
00:04:36,457 --> 00:04:38,797
Finally it's the perfect place to relax

92
00:04:38,797 --> 00:04:40,957
and release your bad feelings.

93
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:53,137
The "fiestas ara a traditional celebration

94
00:04:53,137 --> 00:04:55,147
that only take place in Minorca.

95
00:04:55,147 --> 00:04:57,457
They start with the "toc de fabiol".

96
00:05:44,815 --> 00:05:46,835
During the fiestas people of different

97
00:05:46,835 --> 00:05:49,055
ages do different thing for example drink

98
00:05:49,055 --> 00:05:51,625
pomada which is made with lemon and gin

99
00:05:51,625 --> 00:05:56,065
and it's so good. And pople also go to

100
00:05:56,065 --> 00:05:59,275
the jaleo. The jaleo is the part of

101
00:05:59,275 --> 00:06:01,985
the fiestas where the horses jump with the

102
00:06:01,985 --> 00:06:04,225
the help of people that are around them

103
00:06:04,225 --> 00:06:06,575
but if it's your first time there be

104
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:08,665
carful because if you're the typical

105
00:06:08,665 --> 00:06:11,475
"giri" that wants to record everything

106
00:06:12,073 --> 00:06:15,693
the horses can kick you. And finally when

107
00:06:15,693 --> 00:06:18,013
the jaleo finishes, the samba starts. The

108
00:06:18,013 --> 00:06:22,013
samba is the final part of the fiestas

109
00:06:22,013 --> 00:06:26,013
where all the people go to the square

110
00:06:26,013 --> 00:06:28,273
where the jaleo took place and start to

111
00:06:28,273 --> 00:06:30,543
dance while the band plays

112
00:06:38,130 --> 00:06:40,990
Oh, I love fiestas so much, Sant Jaume and

113
00:06:40,990 --> 00:06:43,070
Sant Climent are my favourtie ones,

114
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:45,170
I also love the samba and being with

115
00:06:45,170 --> 00:06:46,400
all my friends.

116
00:06:48,036 --> 00:06:50,316
Well, in conclusion we can say that Minorca

117
00:06:50,316 --> 00:06:52,666
is a place where you can do a lot of things

118
00:06:52,666 --> 00:06:55,126
for example walk around the villages,

119
00:06:55,126 --> 00:06:57,756
learn about their culture, practice some

120
00:06:57,756 --> 00:07:00,166
aquatic sports... It's a place where you'll

121
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:02,226
be safe because it's a peacful island

122
00:07:02,226 --> 00:07:04,776
but also has some problems for example

123
00:07:04,776 --> 00:07:07,276
you don't have any malls on the island

124
00:07:07,276 --> 00:07:09,656
where you can go shopping, some beaches

125
00:07:09,656 --> 00:07:12,736
and villages are a bit dirty, especially

126
00:07:12,736 --> 00:07:14,966
after the fiestas, and as we said before

127
00:07:14,966 --> 00:07:16,416
you have to take the boat or the plane

128
00:07:16,416 --> 00:07:16,876
to go out.
